HerCampus (HC): What are you involved with on campus? Sports? Clubs?

Renee Tempo (RT): This year I am the Commuter Representative for SGA! I am also a part of Orientation Committee for Saint Vincent. I have been to New York with Women In Business, and this year I am hoping to go to Rome with Campus Ministry!

HC: What is your favorite thing to do on campus?

RT: Ever since freshmen year my favorite thing to do on campus has been to EXPLORE. Saint Vincent is such a beautiful campus with so many hidden places. I’ve even been lucky enough to stumble across a litter of kittens by the monastery!

 

HC: What is your favorite memory from SVC?

RT: That’s a tricky question, I definitely don’t think I could pick only one favorite memory! But I can say that one of my favorite memories was meeting my boyfriend! We met the second month of freshmen year and have been together since.

HC: So cute! Why did you choose your major and what would you like to do after graduation?

RT: I chose Biology because I’ve always known I wanted to go to the medical field. I definitely plan on going to graduate school after SV for either Physician’s Assistant or Occupational Therapist! My dream job would be to work with children though, so either at a pediatrician’s office or Children’s Hospital.

 

HC: What is an interesting fact about you?

RT: My dog is my best friend! Although I have many girl friends that I love, I’d have to admit my dog wins the title. She just celebrated her 13th birthday, but is still my little puppy!

HC: What is your favorite thing about Saint Vincent?

RT: My favorite thing about Saint Vincent is that everyone knows each other and the professors truly care about their students! I couldn’t imagine going to a big school like Pitt or Penn State and having a class with 100 students. That’s just another thing that makes Saint Vincent feel like home.  

HC: So, the weather is finally cooling off. What is your favorite part about the fall season?

RT: Call me basic, but I love everything about fall! From candles to coffee I have an obsession with anything pumpkin! Plus, my favorite holiday is Thanksgiving; its a way for your whole family to come together, without having to worry about presents! 

HC: How about Halloween? Any fun plans? 

RT: I don’t have any specific plans yet, but, hopefully it’ll include pumpkin patches and haunted hay rides!

Hello there! I am the Campus Correspondent of the Her Campus chapter at Saint Vincent College. As a senior psychology major, I've made the most of my time in undergrad and am excited for all the doors I have opening ahead of me. I can definitely thank Her Campus for giving me invaluable skills. As a future psychologist, I hope that my articles (and the chapter's) are able to make you feel empowered, motivate you to start a conversation, and be kind. As a hero of mine has said, "If you do not take control over your time and your life, other people will gobble it up. If you don't prioritize yourself, you constantly start falling lower and lower on your list."- Michelle Obama. Be the change you want to see in the world, and smile. Always smile!
